"Anastasia? Anastasia, are you okay?" My vision and hearing started to come back, and my surrondings changed. I was dreaming of sitting on a beach with Ben. Ah, Ben. I dreamed of his soft lips kissing me, as a wave came up to us, we screamed with laughter, as little kids giggled at our sillyness. I woke up to a pretty room, with beautiful people leaning over me, examining me.

"Lissa, come here." a boy said.

"Christian, I'm trying to heal her. She was in lock down mode." said the girl from the store. But this time instead of wearing jeans and a t-shirt, she was wearing a beautful jade green dress that matched her eyes. She had a little bit of make up on, but it made her look like the models you would see in magazines. Beautiful, but normal. Christian. I wonder where I heard that name before. Not many guy were named that. Hm, well in will come to me sometime soon maybe.

"Wait, Lissa. Stop! She's awake." someone said, another guy. I didn't sence the bliss sweet feeling it was gone. Pain in my head and back started up.

"Nice save Dimitri. Thanks." Lissa said.

"No problem." the Dimitri guy said. "Okay, what sports did you take?"

"Huh?" I asked.

"Did you take any sports?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"What?"

"Soccer, tennis, baseball, softball, lacrosse, field hockey, ice hockey, ice skating, and, well, karate and tai kwan doe."

"Wow." the Christian guy said. "You are athletic." I smiled a thanks. He paused. "Who taught you?"

"Oh, uh, Tasha. Tasha Ozera." everyone froze. "She's like, famous in my town. Everyone is learning from her. Even my friend Ann, who hates getting sweaty takes her classes."

"Go aunt Tasha!" Christian shouted.

"You're the famous Christian? Oh! Your aunt talks about you all the time, and Rose, and Lissa." I gasped. "Hold up. She meant you guys?"

"Hey!" Rose shouted. "Did she talk about Dimitri?"

"Yeah, she even showed pictures of hi-" I was cut off when I saw him. My eyes widened, as I froze with complete terror. Standing before me was the master/killer of all things. He was a legend in my class, everyone wanted to meet him. It was said that he worked at a academy out in the middle of Montana. "Where am I?" I asked.

"Montana."

"Where in Montana? What building am I in?"

"St. Vladimirs Academy."

"Academy. Is this the same academy that Tasha is talking about?"

"Uh, well. Yeah." Christian said, "I heard you were her best student. She then looked closley at you and then realized you were a dhampir. So she called in Lissa, Rose, Dimitri, and I to come get you, and teach you how to fight Strigoi."

"Stri-what?"

"Strigoi, they are the souless, evil vampires. They are different from Moroi. Moroi are alive, but Strigoi aren't. Also, Moroi take little bits of blood a day, not killing their donators, unlike Strigoi, which take a victim, out of their will and kill them." Rose explained. I squinted my eyes, taking this all in. Just like that, everything seemed to make sense, but I didn't get one thing.

"What about my friend Ann?" I asked, but everyone looked confused.

"Who?"

"My best friend, I think she's a Moroi thing. She kinda looks like Lissa, sort of. Same height, skin, face, but her eyes are a deep shade of blue." Soon, everyone was mummering.

"I heard it's the Dragomir's lost daughter."

"No, Ivashkov's."

"No, Jodylonir's."

Everyone was trying to figure out who Ann belonged to, but only Rose asked the most logical question.

"What happened to her? We never saw another Moroi. We saw a girl sitting on a bench when Lissa went inside, but that's it."

"Yeah! Ann was sitting on that bench."

"Oh, uh, this guy named Greg came by to pick her up."

"What!?" I shouted.

"What?" Lissa asked.

"Greg has the flu, his mom wouldn't even let him go outside for school. She wouldn't let him go outside for Ann, unless he snuck out, but then his mom would find out. They have alarms set up all over the place." one girl laughed, and at the same time my phone decided to ring. Everyone was laughing a the ringtone my little sister set up. It was the 'Dora the Explorer' theme song.

"Hello?" I answered it.

"Anastasia? It's Ann."

"Ann! Where are you, where-"

"Chill, I'm at home. The bus came when I was waiting, and I didn't feel that good, so I went home and took a shower. Then I got your frantic message, and decided to give you a heads up."

"Are you sure you are okay?"

"Yeah, where are you by the way?"

"At a friends house."

"Uh huh. Well, tell that to your parents. They kept calling us, askin' where you are. Call them or something, so they can leave us alone."

"Yeah. Okay, I'll call them."

"Hey, whose house are you at?"

"Uh, Jessica's."

"You hate Jessica."

"No I don't, thats what you think."

"Whatever. See you on Monday?"

"Uh, yeah, sure."

"Toodle. Love you!"

"Love ya to Ann. Bye."

"Bye." I hung up, tears streaming down my face. "Oh no."

"What?" Lissa asked.

"My adoptive parents, they are worried about me, and want me to come home, what do I do?"

"Don't call them. Act like you ran away to find your real parents."

"Already done." they laughed, some leaving for school.

"Come on sis." Rose said, grabbing my hand. "Time for school."

"Oh great."

"Oh, trust me. It's okay, for the multiple P.E. classes at least."

"How many classes?"

"About four. Maybe less, maybe more."

"Wow. I'm gonna get me some good buns." we laughed and headed to the front "Office". I got my schedule, feeling confindent about my classes.

I groaned as Lissa and Rose snatched my schedule away from me, staring wide-eyed at it.

"Dammmmn giiiiiirl! Are you super smart or something?"

"Yeah, my parents got tutors to teach me everything, I advance my whole school. I was supposed to go to Harvard at my junior year. I was supposed to go early." I groaned and went to class.
